Tigers Ashes discussion

[smasha]

Anderson in,we would be 4 up now.

Nice surname though,prog!

 

[Not Important]

Mark my words ... Renshaw will be one of the openers when the Aussie summer tees-off.

just what we need another left hand opener.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Reckon Pucovski will be playing in the team by Aus summer.

Hopefully, he's a dead set gun

 

[Marcel Proust]

Hopefully, he's a dead set gun

best average in domestic cricket outside Harris and Wade

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Hopefully, he's a dead set gun

He’s the best player off the back foot through between backward point and cover with square drives I’ve seen since Steve Waugh.

No doubt Australia v New Zealand has been enthralling up to a point with the Aussie coming out on top.

Good technique. Whats he like with the short stuff?

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Despite his age he was still the best chance England had of getting Smith out early, age is irrelevant anyway.
Without Smith, Australia's abysmally thin batting stocks would have been further exposed, I posted earlier that Steve Smith retained these Ashes.
Mark Wood would have been handy but the lack of a decent spinner hurt England even more, Leach & Ali are not good enough.

Both teams batting line ups are putrid.

He got too good at it for his own good and wore a few, poor Shaun Abbott who hit Phil Hughes leveled him. Classic case of Pucovski not paying the short ball enough respect due to being so bloody dominant since being a child prodigy who has made runs for fun. Those concussion issues certainly sharpened him up to pay the shorter stuff more respect rather than trying to murder everything.

Pucovski plunders Western Australia attack

The Victoria youngster showed tremendous determination as he scored a superb 243 for his state against Western Australia at the WACA Ground in Perth

This will give an idea for those who haven’t seen him play.

Not you too, Rodney!!!
Stokes has been in England since he was ten!!!!!!!!!
What sort of accent does Manus have?

He's got all the shots hasnt he? Very good driver too. Took Stoinis to the cleaners and how quick was that WACA outfield. Would have loved to have played on a ground like that

Doesn’t matter he’s a saffer.
Point is it has been a two man contest outside the bowling.
I’m not sure which top order is worse although Warner and Root have plenty of credits in the bank.

The think they don’t mention is that greener wickets would have also further exposed England’s batsman, in all likelihood would have been the same result, everybody on both sides struggled to score runs except for Smith.

Of course it doesn't matter! Only mentioned it because you alluded to the "New Zealander"
Smith was a top six by himself, Root teased with some decent starts, Buttler, Bairstow, Roy very disappointing.

Could have played on mats and Smith would have been the difference...

I meant Marnus is a South African.
Smith was a top 6 by himself but that happens, Warner is world class but has stunk it up. Those English blokes are white ball specialists apart from Root and like Aus the batting needs a shake up.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Basically we are seeing two generational players in Smith and Stokes and some very good bowlers.
In fact Smith has gone far beyond generational I guess. He a once in a lifetime player.

True he was born there, but at least he moved to Australia as a young kid (10), similar to Khawaja
Not like Archer who moved when he was 20, and Keven Pietersen who moved when he was 21
At least Stokes was only 12

 

[Sir_Loin]

good toss to win by the looks of the pitch

 

[Marcel Proust]

Where is Pietermaritzburg? Thats in England.

Thats about as Afrikaans as it gets

 

[TigerImposter]

We’re not interested in winning this as Mitch The Bitch Marsh is playing.

 

[Sir_Loin]

we look up for it, Cummins bowling a sensational spell here
